setting permissions

I copied a dir from one user to another logged in as root in SSH.
Now I get a "Permission denied" message when I ftp in that new dir.
How do I set new permissions for the whole dir ? what are the command lines ? can I chown the whole dir or only individual files ?

Anyone ?

you can type "chown -R <user> <dir>" to recursively change the permission on the dir to the new user. (you must be root to do so)
